Why a guest would tap it
A calendar entry is a note to self. An alarm is a promise to be somewhere. People who set one mean to come, and it rings at a moment they chose: two hours before, so they leave in time, or right at the start for an online event.
It's also the guest's own alarm. They choose when it rings and how loud, and nothing is set until they tap Create alarm.
Make your link
Start with your event's page: Luma, Partiful, Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, Posh and more, or any page of your own that shows the event. Put it after lfg.gm/add?url=, like this:
https://lfg.gm/add?url=https://example.com/events/rooftop-party
That's the whole link. When a guest opens it, Rocco, the cat who does the watching in LFG Alarm, reads the event's name, time, place and picture from your page.
If your event's own link has an & in it, swap each & for %26, or ask your AI app to make the link for you.
No event page? You can write the details into the link instead: a name, the exact start time with its time zone, and a place. The developers page shows how.
Where to put it
- Your event description. Most event sites let you add links to the description. Put it near the top: "Want a real alarm before doors? Set an LFG alarm."
- Your confirmation and reminder emails, right under the date, where people look for the time.
- Your own site or link page, beside the ticket link.
- The group chat or your socials, when you announce the event.
On a site or in an email, use the badge, so it looks like the other buttons. It comes in black, white, violet and volt. The HTML to copy, for a page and for email, is on the developers page.
What your guest sees
- With the app: LFG Alarm opens on your event, already filled in. They pick when it rings (at the start, or 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours before) and tap Create alarm.
- Without the app on a phone: lfg.gm shows your event and where to get the app. The link waits through the install, so your event is there the first time they open it.
- On a computer: lfg.gm shows your event with a code to scan, so they can set it on their phone.
The button, or one shared alarm
There are two ways to use LFG Alarm for an event, and they suit different hosts:
| The Set an LFG alarm button | One shared alarm | |
|---|---|---|
| You need | Just the link | The app and an account |
| Who picks the time | Each guest | You, for everyone |
| You can see | How many set an alarm, on your event's lfg.gm/add page | How many joined |
| Your note on it | No | Yes, your Keeper's note |
| Best for | Big events, ticket sites, newsletters | A crew, a party, a group you know |
For one alarm you share with everyone, see how to get people to actually show up to events.
Ask your AI to make the link
If you use an AI app such as Claude or ChatGPT, it can build the link and the button for you. It doesn't need the LFG Alarm connector for this.
Have your AI agent make it.
Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or any AI agent that can add a connector, not into the LFG Alarm app. The setup steps come with it: get the LFG Alarm app, connect it to your agent once, and your agent makes the alarm in your account.
Make me a Set an LFG alarm link for my event page, [your event link], using lfg.gm/add. Then give me the HTML for the black badge to put next to my Add to calendar button.
Already have the LFG Alarm app and connected it to your AI agent?
Why it works. It gives the event page and asks for the two things you'll paste: the link and the button. The rules for the link are in lfg.gm/llms.txt, which most AI apps can read.
